A church in Fujian Province, on the southeast coast of China, held a collective memorial service.

Before the Qingming Festival which falls on April 5, a group memorial service was conducted on March 25 for more than 150 late believers at Fushou Church in Xiaoxi Town, Pinghe County, with over a thousand participants.

The choir of Xiaoxi Church presented hymns in the South Fujian language to express grief.

Rev. Lin Yunshan, president of Pinghe Christian Council, gave a sermon titled "The Meaning of Tomb Sweeping at Qingming Festival." He exhorted the participants, "Even if all things change, the Lord’s love lasts forever."
